Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: I’ve Paid the Bill [Extra Chapter for 8000 Recommendation Tickets]

Time flew to Saturday, the day the banquet began.

Actually, in Shimen First Middle School’s senior year, Saturdays are for review, without rest.

But what does that have to do with Lu Xiaobu?

”Young Master, the banquet preparations are complete.”

Liang Lan reported, ”The banquet is set in the five-star Emperor Hotel, the food is all prepared by Michelin three-star chefs, and we have all kinds of drinks from Moutai to Lafite. Young Master, do you see if anything is missing?”

After all, this gathering is hosted by the Young Master, and all the attendees are from the Newcomer Rich List, we can’t afford to lose face; otherwise, it’s easy to become a laughingstock.

So, the current cost is estimated to be around five million.

”Hm? Add a barbecue skewer stall, I want two skewers of grilled kidney, and some bottles of ice-cold beer.”

Lu Xiaobu touched his chin as he said.

”Uh...”

Liang Lan was devastated!

Grilled kidneys? Ice-cold beer? In a five-star hotel? Is this high-class enough?

Young Master, do these terms even go together?

But there was no choice, since the Young Master had spoken, she could only go about it with a conflicted face.

Perhaps the Young Master had other uses for it!

...

Lu Xiaobu and his dumbass dog arrived at the party.

Many people were already there.

Everyone brought small pet dogs, which satisfied Lu Xiaobu’s requirements while maintaining grace and elegance.

But as soon as the dumbass dog arrived, the hierarchy was immediately clear.

Some restless waiters began to whisper in the corners.

”Why did Young Master Bu bring a mutt?”

”Yeah, isn’t that a loss of face?”

”Hey, even though Young Master Bu organized the banquet, it’s turned out like this, feels a bit embarrassing.”

”Hopefully they won’t ridicule Young Master Bu.”

”...”

However, what shocked them took place—

The dumbass dog, though it looked unsophisticated, was absolutely domineering!

This dominance wasn’t just among the dogs.

But rather among the wealthy newcomers of the Newcomer Rich List.

Whichever newcomer the dumbass dog approached would immediately turn their head and walk away, without a moment’s hesitation.

They didn’t dare to interact with the dumbass dog at all.

Sometimes, when the dumbass was having too much fun, it would chase after a certain rich person, scaring them into fleeing all over the banquet!

It was total chaos!

The waiters were stupefied!

”Is this a joke?!”

”A mutt chasing after the rich?!”

”Dogs are this badass these days?”

”Probably not that the dog is badass, but Young Master Bu is, I guess.”

”...”

The waiters’ chatter wasn’t heard by the affluent.

Of course, the waiters didn’t dare let them hear.

The rich folks thought it was simple—this dog was not to be messed with.

They had witnessed with their own eyes this dog peeing on Liu Changlong’s face.

And up until now, the dog is still doing fine, what does that tell you?

Even the nearby Liu Changlong couldn’t lay a finger on the dog.

So, better for them to stay as far away as possible!

To save themselves trouble.

Finally!

The supporting characters of today’s banquet made their appearance.

Liu Changlong and Shi Jinhao!

These two arrived together.

Their expressions were odd, half anger and humiliation, the other half excitement.

”Look who’s here!”

Lu Xiaobu sat on a chair, drinking beer and eating grilled kidneys as he spoke.

”You!”

These two, already at loggerheads with Lu Xiaobu, blew up in an instant, ”Lu Xiaobu, aren’t you too much? Eating such low-grade food at such an event, are you despising someone?!”

”You two are sick,” scoffed Lu Xiaobu, ”This is my banquet, I’m the host, what does it have anything to do with you what I eat?”

The two were momentarily stumped and swallowed the snub, saying nothing more.

They exchanged glances, both grinding their teeth in secret—wait a bit, and you, Lu Xiaobu, will face the consequences.

”Young Master, would you like to say anything?”

Liang Lan spoke up.

”Uh...” Lu Xiaobu took the microphone, pondered for a moment, ”Eat what you want to eat, drink what you want to drink, I’ve already paid the bill, you guys chat, I’m leaving.”

Having said that, Lu Xiaobu was ready to get up to leave.

”Snort!”

A group of wealthy individuals nearly exploded in anger!

Son of a bitch!

Eat what you want to eat? Drink what you want to drink?

What the hell do you think this is?

Paying a birthday visit with a cash gift?

And you’ve already paid the bill?

Are you implying that we flew here just to freeload your food and drinks?

Do we look like we’re that desperate?

”Young Master, Young Master.”

Liang Lan hurried to stop him, saying with a wry smile, ”You’re the main character of the banquet! You can’t leave! If you leave, what does that make this?”

Before, she thought the Young Master must have had a foolproof plan for suggesting a dog-themed party!

Now it’s clear that the Young Master was just plotting to make Liu Changlong and Shi Jinhao jealous!

Seeing the pitiful look on Shi Jinhao and Liu Changlong’s faces, the Young Master is already happy!

As for the banquet itself, the Young Master doesn’t care at all!

”Really can’t leave?” asked Lu Xiaobu.

”Really can’t leave!” Liang Lan said earnestly, almost pleadingly.

Zhou Jingyuan also chimed in: ”You can’t leave, Xiaobu, if you leave, the whole banquet will become a joke.”

”Alright then,” Lu Xiaobu shrugged, resignedly replied, ”I’ll stay a little longer.”

”Phew!”

Liang Lan breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly went to make arrangements.

She had given up on the Young Master.

The wealthy folks also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lu Xiaobu had really just walked out like that, although the biggest joke would be on Lu Xiaobu, they couldn’t escape unscathed either.

With Liang Lan orchestrating, the banquet finally started properly.

Everyone returned to normal, using the opportunity to talk business and seek partnerships.

It looked no different from the usual social gatherings they attended.

The only difference was the persistent smell of grilled kidneys in their noses.

That feeling was super annoying.

Qi Fei and the eighth-ranked individual on the Newcomer Rich List were discussing a business deal around thirty million...

The scent of grilled kidneys wafted over...

Instantaneously...

Both felt like they had ended up at a street food stall...

And immediately lost all desire to talk business!

What the hell!

What’s this situation?!

I ask you, could you discuss a thirty million deal while eating skewers and drinking beer at a street food stall?

That’s not doing business, that’s bullshitting!

”Hasn’t he arrived yet?”

Liu Changlong sat in a corner, his body feeling a little on edge.

If it wasn’t for the tranquilizer he had taken earlier, he probably would have thrown up by now in a room full of dogs.

”It should be soon.”

Shi Jinhao was also a bit anxious.

Although Mr. Lin said he would send someone, he hadn’t given a specific time.

He wasn’t in a position to ask for an exact time either.

Normally, it wouldn’t matter, but seeing Lu Xiaobu acting that way, it felt like the banquet could end at any moment.

Even if the banquet ended, he could still clean up Lu Xiaobu.

However, if he couldn’t publicly humiliate Lu Xiaobu in front of everyone, how could he feel satisfied?

...

Finally!

”Here he comes!”

Shi Jinhao’s eyes suddenly lit up, looking toward the door!

Liu Changlong also stood up at once.

The time to deal with Lu Xiaobu had finally come!

And at this moment...

The sneaky dumbass quietly approached Liu Changlong’s leg...

Lifted his hind leg...

Exposed his ding-dong...

Hsss...
